Hi John,

Without knowing the changes that you've made and when you get the exception it is very difficult to debug the problem. It looks like Tiles is complaining when attempting to insert a tile.

Focus on what you've changed, comparing with the working KonaKart version.

i am getting same error ( before noticing this topic , i just added new topic for the same)
i just build war file using ant proived and copy the war file in my delpoy folder like any other war file . it get deployed successfully but on first page get this error

please advise.what else i can debug for this

[anilforum]

<put name="leftTile6" value=""/>

      <put name="leftTile7" value=""/>

in tiles def file this is blank , could this problem for our server ..how do i check huh ?

[anilforum]

i am able to remove this error
by putting reference of  empty jsp entry in tiles xml at place of ""

steps
1) create emptyContent.jsp in web-inf/jsp folder
2) replace entry in tiles-def xml example : <put name="leftTile7" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/emptyContent.jsp"/>

seems like out server or struts doesnt like "" entry

have fun
anil
